Review: Acure Organics Cocoa Butter + CoQ10 Ultra-Hydrating Body Lotion

I don't use a lot of body lotions, but I do use a little at night, particularly on my hands, elbows, and knees. Some people prefer intensive moisturizers for night, but I tend to prefer something that absorbs quickly - as I like to read before bed and don't want to get greasy lotion all over the pages or my kindle. I was curious to see what type of lotion - light or intensive - I would find in my bottle of Acure Organics Cocoa Butter + CoQ10 Ultra-Hydrating Body Lotion.

Pros:
  • Absorbs quickly
  • Non-greasy
  • Generous size
  • Unscented
  • Many organic ingredients
Cons:
  • Goes on a little lighter than the name implies
Summary:
While the name suggests that the lotion provides intensive hydration, I found it to have a nicely smooth, quickly-absorbing texture. It left my skin feeling silky, not greasy. This is the type of moisturizer I prefer, but I was expecting something with more intense moisture when the name says "ultra-hydrating." I loved how it doesn't have a scent; it can be hard to find a lotion that isn't too fragrant or truly doesn't smell like much. This came in at a low 1 on EWG's Skin Deep database, which is very gentle. The ingredients are mostly organic, another big plus, especially considering that one 8 oz tube runs just under $10. If you're looking for a gentle lotion that is gluten-free, vegan, and organic, this is a great option for an everyday moisturizer.

Also available on Amazon.com.
